JR East and JR West will operate special group-only temporary Shinkansen services connecting Japan’s Tohoku and Hokuriku regions, named the “Tsunagaru Tohoku” and “Tsunagaru Hokuriku” trains.
The trains will run between Tsuruga and Morioka stations, stopping at all stations between Tsuruga and Kurobe-Unazukionsen, as well as at Koriyama and Ichinoseki stations. The “Tsunagaru Tohoku” train will depart from Tsuruga Station on May 22 and from Morioka Station on May 24. The “Tsunagaru Hokuriku” train will depart from Morioka Station on May 23 and from Tsuruga Station on May 25. The required travel time is approximately 6 hours to 7 hours 10 minutes from Morioka Station, and about 6 and a half hours from Tsuruga Station.
This will be the fifth direct Shinkansen service from Japan’s Hokuriku region to the Tohoku region in seven years, and the sixth direct Shinkansen service from the Tohoku region to the Hokuriku region in one year.
Travel agencies plan to sell exclusive tour packages using these services, and further details will be announced at a later date.
